Yoruichi: Hehe

In the Second Division Captain's office, Yoruichi was sitting behind a large desk, processing documents.

She wore a loose Captain's Haori and had a focused expression, a stark contrast to her usual carefree image.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Yoruichi said without looking up.

"Hey, Wang Xun."

Yoruichi looked up after sensing the Reiatsu of the newcomer.

"What's up?"

"Excuse me, Captain, I'm here to report on my progress in the Fourth Division."

"Speak."

Wang Xun reported on his progress in his studies in the Fourth Division, which yielded impressive results.

Yoruichi listened casually, nodding occasionally.

"Kaidō a good job of learning Daoism; that's a good thing."

"Having more skills means having more security. Captain Unohana has high hopes for you, which is a rare opportunity."

"Actually, there's one more thing."

Wang Xun seized the opportunity and got down to business.

"I've recently come up with some ideas about combining Kidō and Hakuda, and I'd like to ask the captain if he has any suggestions."

"Oh?"

Yoruichi's eyes lit up slightly.

"You're talking about what you and Soi Fon have been researching lately, right? How's her progress?"

Wang Xun was taken aback, but not overly surprised.

"Is the captain also paying attention to this?"

"Nonsense, this is Stealth Force. Do you think your little tricks can fool me? Tell me, what's the progress?"

"It went fairly smoothly."

Wang Xun answered truthfully.

"Soi Fon has found the key to the shoulders and back as Reiatsu nodes and is refining the specific technique structure. However..."

He paused, observing Yoruichi's expression.

"There is indeed a small problem: to use this ability, special clothing is needed to avoid the Reiatsu impact on the shoulders and back."

"Then she realized... Captain, your combat gear is perfect for this."

Yoruichi's lips curled up upon hearing this.

"Oh? She noticed."

"I thought, given her slow-wittedness, it would take her much longer to notice."

Her tone was quite pleased.

"I was just mentioning the fusion of Hakuda and Kidō abilities casually at the time, I didn't expect her to take it so seriously."

So you came because of this?

Wang Xun nodded slightly.

"She hesitated to bring it up herself due to her position and respect for you, but I didn't have that concern. I also know the captain has a tolerant personality, so I inquired on her behalf."

"Captain, you've already fully developed this ability, haven't you?"

Yoruichi nodded gently.

"That's right, its name is Flash Gate."

"I developed Flash Gate) because my Zanpakuto) doesn't suit my personality, so I took an unconventional approach and researched a new ability, but I haven't had much opportunity to use it yet."

"I never imagined Soi Fon would be interested in this ability."

"Captain, are you going to give her some pointers?"

Upon hearing this, Yoruichi showed a thoughtful expression.

"She's creating something from scratch, and while the process is tough, it's incredibly valuable for her growth. And with things progressing so smoothly, it seems like I don't even need to interfere."

"I plan to give her some pointers on the details after she's basically finished taking shape."

Yoruichi put down the documents, a sly glint in her eyes.

"But now that she's noticed the problem with the outfits, the team leader should at least do something about it... How about this?"

"Our body types are similar, so I'll just take one set from my spare clothes."

Wang Xun was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Yoruichi's care for Soi Fon was even more meticulous than he had imagined.

"That child is sometimes too serious, always feeling that she is not good enough, but in reality, she has already done a great job."

"Wang Xun, go and pass on a message for me."

She said with a smile.

"Tell Soi Fon that I noticed she's developing new abilities and that I think she might need a suitable combat suit, so I prepared one for her."

"Have her come to my room tonight, I'll give it to her."

Suddenly, something occurred to her, her eyes lit up, and her smile turned somewhat mischievous.

"I'll see how she reacts when she wears this outfit. It'll be a good opportunity to check if she's developed yet. She'll definitely be shy, but she'll try to act calm... Ku ku ku, just thinking about it is funny."

A foolish smile crept across Yoruichi's lips; he was clearly lost in his own fantasies.

Hearing Yoruichi's outrageous statement, Wang Xun fell into a long silence.

"Captain, this isn't a good idea."

What does it have to do with anything?

Yoruichi was perfectly justified.

"Soi Fon and I are as close as sisters. What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere? You know, that child is most adorable when she's shy."

As she spoke, she laughed again, clearly engrossed in her own imagination.

Wang Xun's lips twitched, feeling rather helpless.

Never mind, it's none of his business anyway; he was just a messenger.

At that moment, Yoruichi suddenly turned to look at Wang Xun.

"By the way, do you want some clothes?"

Wang Xun:?

Me, me?

I think I won't need it for now...

", Yeah?"

Yoruichi looked uninterested, then waved her hand dismissively.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go now. Remember to let Soi Fon know."

Wang Xun responded and silently left the captain's room.

After leaving the captain's office, Wang Xun returned to the training field.

Soi Fon wasn't practicing anymore; instead, she sat on the steps, lost in thought.

Upon seeing Wang Xun return, she immediately stood up, her eyes filled with both curiosity and worry.

"How about it?"

Soi Fon asked, a hint of nervousness in her voice.

Wang Xun sat down beside her, considered for a moment, and then tactfully relayed Yoruichi's words to Soi Fon remained silent for a long time.

Her expression was complicated.

Soi Fon repeated in a low voice.

"So, Lady Yoruichi noticed that I was developing this ability a long time ago, so..."

Wang Xun nodded.

"The captain said, since you've already thought about the clothing issue, I'll let you know in advance."

"This ability is called Flash Gate."

"Shunkō..."

Soi Fon clenched her fist, her fingertips turning slightly white.

What else did she say?

Soi Fon asked, her voice even lower.

Wang Xun hesitated for a moment before telling him about how Yoruichi had asked her to pick up her clothes that Yoruichi.

"Wh-what?!"

Lady Yoruichi asked me to go to her room, and she even wanted to bring me a set of clothes?!

Tonight, in Lady Yoruichi's room...

Lady Yoruichi's clothes, he put them on himself.

Soi Fon's face instantly turned bright red, as if she had just thought of something.

Wang Xun felt quite helpless looking at her reaction.

Just as expected...

Soi Fon realized her lapse in composure, took a deep breath, and tried to regain her composure.

He then coughed lightly twice to cover his embarrassment.

"... Well, since Lady Yoruichi has made this special preparation, I can't let her down."

She spoke with a straight face, but the blush on her ears betrayed her.

"... Okay, you two have fun."

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

What else could he say? Just a powerless bystander.

Wang Xun sighed and got up to leave.

"Etc."

Soi Fon looked at him and pursed her lips.

"Thank you, Wang Xun."

Wang Xun was taken aback; this was the first time he had heard her express her gratitude so formally.

It was nothing.

Wang Xun smiled, waved, and turned to leave.

Soi Fon stood there, watching his departing figure, and after a long while, she let out a soft breath.

But my rapid heartbeat just wouldn't slow down.

This time, Soi Fon vaguely sensed that it wasn't just because of Lady Yoruichi's invitation.

She raised her hand to touch her burning earlobe, her toes curling involuntarily.

My restless mind couldn't calm down for a long time.
